Terrapin Station [Live at The Spectrum, Philadelphia 4/6/82[00:00:00]

Let my inspiration flow in token rhyme [00:00:23]

Suggesting rhythm [00:00:29]

That will not forsake you [00:00:31]

Till my tale is told and done [00:00:34]

While the firelights aglow [00:00:42]

Strange shadows from the flames will grow [00:00:45]

Till things weve never seen will seem familiar [00:00:49]

Shadows of a sailor [00:01:01]

Forming winds both foul and fair all swarm [00:01:03]

Down in carlisle [00:01:08]

He loved a lady many years ago [00:01:09]

Here beside him stands a man [00:01:20]

A soldier from the looks of him [00:01:23]

Who came through many fights [00:01:27]

But lost at love [00:01:30]

While the story teller speaks [00:01:38]

A door within the fire creaks;[00:01:42]

Suddenly flies open [00:01:46]

And a girl is standing there [00:01:49]

Eyes alight with glowing hair [00:01:57]

All that fancy paints as fair [00:02:01]

She takes her fan and throws it [00:02:04]

In the lions den [00:02:08]

Which of you to gain me tell [00:02:16]

Will risk uncertain pains of hell [00:02:19]

I will not forgive you if you will[00:02:24]

Not take the chance [00:02:28]

The sailor gave at least a try [00:02:35]

The soldier being much too wise [00:02:39]

Strategy was his strength [00:02:43]

And not disaster [00:02:45]

The sailor coming out again [00:03:31]

The lady fairly leapt at him [00:03:34]

Thats how it stands today [00:03:38]

You decide if he was wise [00:03:41]

The story teller makes no choice [00:03:49]

Soon you will not hear his voice [00:03:53]

His job is to shed light [00:03:57]

And not to master [00:04:00]

Since the end is never told [00:06:10]

We pay the teller off in gold [00:06:13]

In hopes he will return [00:06:17]

But he cannot be bought or sold [00:06:20]

Inspiration move me brightly [00:06:44]

Light the song with sense and color;[00:06:52]

Hold away despair [00:06:56]

More than this I will not ask [00:06:59]

Faced with mysteries dark and vast [00:07:03]

Statements just seem vain at last [00:07:10]

Some rise some fall [00:07:16]

Some climb to get to terrapin [00:07:24]

Counting stars by candlelight [00:07:35]

All are dim but one is bright;[00:07:39]

The spiral light of venus [00:07:43]

Rising first and shining best [00:07:46]

On from the northwest corner [00:07:50]

Of a brand new crescent moon [00:07:54]

While crickets and cicadas sing [00:08:01]

A rare and different tune [00:08:07]

Terrapin station [00:08:10]

In the shadow of the moon [00:08:14]

Terrapin station [00:08:18]

And I know well be there soon [00:08:22]

Terrapin[00:08:26]

I can't figure out terrapin [00:08:28]

If it's the end or beginning terrapin [00:08:32]

But the trains put its brakes on terrapin [00:08:35]

And the whistle is screaming terrapin[00:08:39]
